The Supremes Throw the GOP a Bone

The Supreme Court is going to consider the D.C. handgun ban.

Their decision will probably come out right around next June, which puts the issue of gun control smack-dab in the middle of the presidential campaign. That's good for Republicans, as igniting a debate about gun control works well for them. Democrats fuck up on gun control, because they are not smart enough to say "look, this issue is a loser and we are not going to enact any gun control laws."

You want two examples? Clinton handed the Congress to the GOP in 1994 by signing the Brady Bill in 1993. He admitted as much in 1995. When Al Gore pooped off about requiring photo gun licenses in 2000, he cooked his goose.

So the Supremes will rule and regardless how they rule, the Democrats will fuck it up, the gun owners will be energized and that is how the Republicans will retain the White House.
